This is a song based on a scripture from I Corinthians chapter 13 (the love chapter)...originally it was barely 2 minutes long...I couldn't do that...that's hardly half of a song (c'mon now) so I repeated the chorus and last verse to make a proper song of it...so (you know the drill)...if you do...thanks for listening...I appreciate you all...Dan

In that case, let me make you this honest compliment: you are so good, every time I have heard you sing, that I couldn't tell the difference - in terms of tidiness of the voice, I mean. In any case, this is a wonderful song, as I've stated above. Bravo.

Dan, another absolute masterpiece.
You always pick the synth voices that perfectly match your song.
As usual your arrangements are second to none.
Love your messages and songs.


Dad, how will I know when I've become an adult.

Dan, super song! Love your backing track arrangement and placement of the virtual instruments in the mix. And your vocal arrangement is superb as always. Fun to hear Kevin(?) pop up into the falsetto phrase. Just when I think you can't POSSIBLY get any better...there you GO...

Ha!

Amazing. Beautiful melody springing from a simple but effective chord progression. It flows so naturally I'm surprised no one composed it before.
Excellent lyric, mix and production.

Hi, Dan.

Lovely melody and backing.

And, of course, excellent harmonies.

But is it really Christian country? wink

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

We 3 things in all endure. If. Man, you are so darn good at vocals in general, harmony in particular, and now fashioning these synth voices. Love the melody, and, oh, yeah, that chorus and verse should be repeated. Wait, I didn't hear any Dan-lke modulation. Dan, those voices are so full. High-praise throughout, my friend.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Dan,

God smiles down from Heaven at every measure you produce! What an amazing production all around. My Dad went into hospice a couple of days ago so this was especially moving to me today. Thank you for sharing your God-given gift, my friend!

Blessings to you, my friend!

Dewey...so sorry to hear about your dad...I'm blessed by your comment about the song...it is always my hope that my (HIs) songs accomplish a greater purpose than just being heard...I'll pray for you and your family for this time and for peace and comfort for your father...Dan

That was a very good verse to base a song on.

The harmonies are lovely with an excellent ending.
All the vocals are very nicely nuanced.

We hear a fine open mix with the cello nicely carrying things along.

Enjoyed it!

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.

The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
